Here's what Mumbai Police tweeted:

Mumbai Police shared a three-seconds video clip showcasing the perfect food combinations which would be incomplete without each other. Just like Mumbai's favourite food items such as the Vada, Bhurji and Kheema would be incomplete without a pav, similarly, every person is also incomplete without a face mask. Once again the Mumbai Police used creativity, this time with the example of city's favourite street food to send out the all important message that stepping out without a mask is incomplete, using the hashtag '#NoMaskaOnlyMask'.

Since being shared online, the post which has stuck a chord with the citizens has garnered over 60,000 views and still counting. Hundreds of citizens took to the comments section of the post to laud the Mumbai Police department for their creative post which has hidden messages.

One user said, "Isn't this the coolest Instagram handle?," while a second user wrote, "Kudos to your marketing team!! Now I feel like eating vada pav!" A third user commented, "One more time you nailed it," while a fourth comment read, "This is the best social media team ever." "Now I am hungry for Bhurji Pav," read another comment.

Here's how netizens reacted to the pre'pav'ed post:
